Was the tree in the Tokonoma a weeping maple? It looks amazing once its leaves have dropped!
Cheers,
Pearcy.

Yeah that was a really really really nice weeping willow Pearcy! Heard some more about its history today from the lucky owner (the VP of the SA Bonsai Society).
It was nice to meet Steven today too! I'm still kind of having a chuckle to myself for asking you whether you 'ever go on Ausbonsai' !

You Croweaters have certainly got Jade and Olives down pat. Some very desirable trees there, for sure. Thanks for taking the time to post.
